Sorry, environmentalists, that pavement can stay on Utah’s scenic Burr Trail Brian Maffly © Provided by Salt Lake Tribune Garfield County chip-sealed this 7.50-mile stretch of the Burr Trail within days of getting the BLM s approval. An environmental lawsuit seeking to unpave parts of southern Utah’s famed Burr Trail has hit a dead end after a federal judge concluded the Bureau of Land Management conducted an adequate review of the project that some fear is increasing vehicle traffic through remote and scenic backcountry. A suit filed by the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance and two other groups alleged the federal agency ran roughshod over the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA, in its haste to approve the project. The groups complained the agency’s environmental assessment failed to address a paved road’s impact to adjacent protected lands, including the Mount Pennell Wilderness Study Area.
